Although this may be the first book in the series, for me, it comes better after reading the third one. In Exquisite Trouble, Swan, Sarah's twin sister is trying to live a life of her own. She is out from under her father and stepmother's influence. She loves them, but staying in a prepper's compound is a bit too isolated. Super smart, she is ready to take on the outside world. This dream to be independent is curtailed quickly when she is drawn into her birth mother's crazy schemes.

I really enjoyed this book and now I am becoming more of a motorcycle club fan. Granted this motorcycle club holds more honourable men than in reality, still, it is alluring. Swan is an interesting character. I thought she would be similar to her twin, Sarah. Swan is a little like Sarah but different enough to distinguish between the two women. Swan is less violently bloodthirsty and more diplomatic despite her social awkwardness. She is cute and adorable. She is pragmatic and like a fluffy bunny to be cuddled. Everything about her amuses me and makes me like her. I could easily see her as a friend. She is admirable.

Smoke is an curious match for her. I can definitely see he has a hero complex. It is easy to see why he wants Swan so badly. Although there seems to be two other men who catch Swan's attention and could potentially steal her away from Smoke. Thomas and Hustler are both rather dreamy men and seemingly good alternate choices. Honestly, the men in this series are all to die for sexy wet dreams. Is it realistic? No. Do I normally like it in a story? No. But for some reason, Ms. Mayburn turns up the charm and I'm easily swayed to like all these studly alpha men showing their sexual prowess.

The hints of sexual dominance is a constant tease. Ms. Mayburn is a queen of cocktease in this book because she keeps telling about these sexy D/s leanings and yet she never shows the readers the goods. *pouts* There are no hawt kinky sex scenes in this book. Okay, there are some hawt sex scenes but not kinky enough for me to get my BDSM desires satisfied. It isn't about the toys. It is all about the power exchange which never really happens in this story. Still, the sex between Swan and Smoke is a nice little fire to whet one's appetite.

The plot of this book makes more sense if one reads the third book in this series first. The story ends leaving a reader desperately wanting to read the very next book immediately. This well written book is highly recommended to erotica readers who enjoy bad boys and girls who can make them sweat.

What is chemical play? Is it acids that are used to burn body parts?
No. It's using different types of substances to illicit sensation on
the skin and perhaps in the body. Generally the substances are in liquid
form for easy application. I'm going to go through only the ones I've
used. I am sure there are more. Hopefully others will be happy to
share their experiences. As usual, I'm going to use the terms Top and
bottom for the person applying the person receiving, respectively.

Safety first

With chemical play, while there is a lessor possibility of harm, it
still exists. There can be adverse reactions. It could be a person is
allergic to the chemical. It is important to ask about any allergies
the bottom may have.

Another thing to be concerned with
chemical play is where it contacts. There are some things which can
burn and temporarily damage delicate mucus membranes. Not everyone's
body reacts the same to chemicals so it is…

What?How can stapling be sexy?Who
wants to be stapled?How on earth did
these BDSM deviants pervert a stapler?
Are these the thoughts running through your
head?They were the thoughts running
through my head.The only time I've seen
stapling done on a person is on the Jackass
Movie.There doesn't seem to
be a clip of it on Youtube.However,
Steve-O from Jackass did do it again with a regular stapler here.
The stapler I'm referring to is NOT a regular
office stapler or a staple gun found at a hardware store.Could you use those?Yes.Is it advisable?No.Instead, we are going to learn about surgical
staple guns.There are a couple of
different brands.
The focus of this topic is where you can
staple and how you can mix it up in your scene. Safety
Yes, it's safety time again!It's boring but mandatory.
First, stapling does cause a break in the
skin.Depending on the person and
sometimes even the time of the month, a person may or ma…

What is a sensual sadist? How does this work? Doesn't a sadist only
give pain? I've read in some books which argue there is no such thing
as a sensual sadist and they don't like that phrase at all.

I
have had the pleasure of attending a class from a self titled, Sensual
Sadist. Here are my notes from the class. Any mistakes are due to me
as a note taker, not the presenter.

The presenter in the class
was Haven. He's a second generation Dom. His parents are in the
lifestyle and lived it as he was growing up in the household.

Haven
was an extremely dynamic presenter who kept the class captivated. He
was well spoken and based on his work at Renaissance Faires, I'm not
surprised. Haven is on fetlife. He also has a blog which he adds to
here and there - Kinky as I am.

What does it mean to be a sensual sadist?

For Haven, it means two parts.

1. More senses than just touch. Toys can be used to caress or cause pain.
